13. Leonardo DiCaprio’s tortoise

During his visit to the North American Reptile Breeders Conference and Trade Show, Leonardo DiCaprio surprised everyone when he made an unexpected purchase. The renowned actor reportedly spent $400 to acquire a tortoise from the event. The tortoise in question was an African spurred tortoise, a species known for its longevity and potential to reach sizes of up to 180 pounds.

The purchase took place at Prehistoric Pets, where DiCaprio showed genuine interest in the 45-pound, 7-year-old tortoise. While DiCaprio’s associate handled most of the discussions regarding the tortoise’s care and cost, the actor himself took charge when it came time to complete the transaction.

African spurred tortoises have a lifespan of up to 200 years, making them remarkable companions for those willing to provide them with proper care and attention. DiCaprio’s decision to bring this magnificent creature into his life demonstrates his appreciation for unique and captivating animals.
